Housing Investment

Housing Investment is an essential mechanism for delivering the aims and objectives of the Local Housing Strategy.  The Council has put in place a range of structures, resources and programmes (described in these pages) to deliver these aims and objective in a co-coordinated, open, transparent and accountable way. 

In September 2003, responsibility for management of the Development Funding Programme in Glasgow transferred from the Scottish Government to the City Council.  This Programme is a key resource for delivering Local Housing Strategy Investment Priorities.

As part of the management of the Development Funding Programme, the Council has established the City Wide Investment Forum to discuss the resource allocation framework and investment issues with partners and stakeholders. 

The Scottish Government has introduced a Strategic Housing Investment Framework (SHIF) for the allocation of Development Funding resources.   Glasgow's forth Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP), was approved, following consultations, by the Council's Executive Committee and submitted to The Scottish Government on 29 November 2010.

Since 2005 the Council has been working with Glasgow Housing Association and the Scottish Government on establishing a new approach to the regeneration of the eight key areas in the City, known as Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRAs).  In 2009 Scottish Ministers gave the go ahead for an early action programme to be initiated.
